3 Claims.

The invention relates to a bottle onstruction and more especially tonon-refillable bottles.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a bottle of thischaracter, wherein the neck has tted therein a plug or stopper, thelatter serving to anchor a mouth closure for the sealing of the mouth ofthe .bottle after the lling thereof, while the original contents of thebottle can be readily and conveniently dispensed at will, it beingpractically impossible torefill the bottle without destruction to theneck, so that the genuineness of the contents of the bottle in theoriginal filling thereof will be assured.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a bottle of thischaracter, wherein the closure for the mouth of said bottle is of no velconstruction and aiords a permanent seal for the mouth of the bottle toavoid any possibility of a refilling of the bottle through its mouthafter the dispensing of the original contents.

A further object of theinvention is the provision of a bottle of thischaracter, which is comparatively simple in constructiomthoroughlyreliable and effective in its purpose, strong, durable, and inexpensiveto manufacture.

y With these and other objects in View, the invention consists in thefeatures of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as willbe hereinafter more fully`described in detail, illustrated in theaccompanying drawing, which discloses the preferred embodiment of the111-' vention, and pointed out in the claims hereunto y appended.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a bottle constructed inaccordance with the invention, showing the cap removed for thedispensing'of the contents of said bottle.

Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing the cap applied for theclosing of the bottle.

Figure 3 is a sectional view onI the line 3 3 of Figure 1 looking in thedirection of the arrows.

Figure 4 is a sectional view on the line 4--4 of Figure 2 looking in thedirection of the arrows.

Figure 5 is a sectional view on the line 5-'-5 of Figure 2 looking inthe direction'of the arrows.

Similar reference characters indicate correspending parts throughout theseveral views in the drawing. Y

Referring to the drawing in detail, the bottle comprises a body I0which, in its conventional style, is of glass and formed with the neckII having the externally reduced mouth I2, and

this neck is provided with upwardly divergent.

dispensing passages I3 for the delivery of the contents from the body I0after the filling of such bottle. The mouth I2 accommodates a cap I4which is either frictionally held upon the mouth or threaded with theneck of the bottle.

The cap iI4 normally closes the passages I3 tor 5 prevent the dispensingof the contents ofl the body IIJ of the bottle until the cap I4 has beenremoved from the mouth.

The Vneck I I h-as provided therein, a filling bore E or openingeffecting next to the mouth I2 a cir`- l0 cular'socket or recess I5,while next to the body II)v is an inwardly tapered bore or passage I 6considerably reduced in diameter with respect to the socket or recessI5. The wall of the socket or recess I5 has diametrically oppositenotches 15 I1 for accommodating anchoring pins I8, these beingpreferably made from metal, while the neck II and mouth I2 are of glass.

Accommodated within the socket or recess I5 is an inverted substantiallycup-shaped'sealing 20 member I9, its side wall slidably accommodatingthe pins I8. These pins I8 are automatically driven into engagementV` inthe notches I'I by the cone end 20 of a stopper or plug 2| which isfitted within the bore or passage I 6. Thus it 25 will be seen that themember- I9 will perm-anently seal the filling opening in the neck of thebottle, while the stopper or plug 2l closes the inner tapered portion I6of said opening and functions to anchor the member I9 in the socket 30or recess I5, said member being made from glass while the stopper orplug is made from vulcanized rubber, wood, cork or such like elasticmaterial.

Should any attempt be made to rell the bottle 35 by the breaking of the"member I9, which is of glass, for the removal of the stopper or plug 2|,the pins I8 having the toothed outer ends 22 will fracture the mouth I2to render the bottle unt for further use. It is practically impossibleto 40 clear the filling opening of the bottle without damaging suchbottle and rendering it unt for further service.

Normally the `bottle has its neck II land mouth I2v open and after thefilling of the body I 0 of 454 said bottle the plug or stopper 2I isplaced within the lling opening in the neck so as to t the portion I6,with the outer cone end 20 projected into the socket or recess I5.Thereafter the member I9 is forced into the socket or recess I5 50 tobecome seated therein. The short pins I8, slidably carried by the memberI9 have inner conical ends which travel over and compress and slightlygroove the cone end 20 of the stopper or plug when said member I9 isbeing seated. 55

When the 'pins are brought opposite the notches I1, they will be forcedby the expansion of the plug end 20, thereinto. The member I9 is thuspermanently anchored in, and seals the lling opening in the bottle neckWithout danger of the metal pins inflicting injury to the glass memberI9 or the neck of the bottle. It is impossible to clear the fillingopening of the bottle Without damaging the latter, because shouldpressure be brought to bear upon the member I9, the elastic cone end 20of the stopper or plug 2| will act as a spreader for the pins I8 andtheir serrated or toothed outer ends 22 will fracture or break the neckof the bottle to render it unfit for further use.

It, of course, will be seen that the passages I3 will function for thedispensing of the contents of the bottle and the venting of air for thefree flow of such contents from the bottle.

What is claimed is:

1. A bottle of the kind described comprising a body having a neckforming a filling mouth, a plug carried in the neck and having a,coneshaped expansible spreader tip, a sealing member seated within themouth and having anchoring pins engaged by the spreader tip for thefastening of the sealing member Within the mouth, said neck havingdispensing passages opening laterally thereof for the dispensing of thecontents of the body, and a closure for the passages and removably ttingsaid neck.

2. A bottle of the character described comprising a body having a neckformed with a reduced mouth having a filling passage therethrough, asealing member closing said passage, a plug in said passage, anchoringpins carried by the sealing member and engageable in the neck, and anelastic yieldable spreader tip on the plug designed to yield inwardlywhen contacted by the anchoring pins when the sealing member is insertedin the passage and thereafterto expand and force the anchoring pinsagainst the neck When the sealing member is fully inserted in the neck.

3. A bottle of the character described comprising a body having a neckformed with a reduced mouth having a lling passage therethrough andh-aving a series of notches therein, a sealing member closing saidpassage, a plug in said passage, anchoring pins carried by the sealingmember and engageable in the neck, a compressible 2O and expansible tipon the plug to be rst compressed by the anchoring pins when the sealingmember is forced into the passage in the neck and thereafter to expandand move the anchoring pins longitudinally to bring the outer ends 25
